- Virtus Newfleet ABS/MBS ETF (VABS) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return through current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in asset-backed securities (ABS) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The fund offers exposure to a diversified portfolio of securitized debt instruments, including non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and other ABS categories such as those backed by consumer loans, aircraft, and equipment; it employs a multi-sector strategy emphasizing undervalued opportunities within investment-grade and high-yield fixed income segments. VABS operates within the broader U.S. fixed income market, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking yield enhancement and risk-adjusted returns in securitized products. Launched in 2022 by Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., with sub-advisory from Newfleet Asset Management, LLC, the ETF is headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, and trades on the Nasdaq exchange. Geographically, its holdings focus on U.S.-domiciled securities, though underlying collateral may span global assets. In recent developments, Virtus Investment Partners expanded its ETF lineup in 2024 with complementary fixed income products, enhancing its multi-asset capabilities amid rising interest in active ETFs; Newfleet also announced strategic portfolio adjustments in mid-2025 to capitalize on normalizing credit spreads in ABS/MBS markets following Federal Reserve rate cuts. No major acquisitions or name changes have occurred within the last two years, but the fund benefited from increased inflows driven by investor shifts toward income-oriented strategies in a volatile rate environment.
